This specially badged Camry Hybrid comes with features exclusive only to the 50th Anniversary Edition. Its stunning Blizzard Pearl paint, unique 16-inch alloy wheels with a graphite finish, and exterior “50th Anniversary Edition” badging are just some of the 50th Anniversary exclusives not available on any other Camry. A power moonroof and heated power outside mirrors are also standard.
Inside, the Camry Hybrid is equipped with a voice-activated DVD navigation system with a four-disc changer, leather-trimmed bisque-colored interior, heated front seats, and a carpeted cargo mat. Unique interior features include brushed stainless dash appliqué, illuminated front door sills, and carpeted floor mats with the “50th Anniversary Edition” logo.
Only 3,000 units will be built at Toyota Motor Manufacturing in Kentucky. The 50th Anniversary Edition will carry a base manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $31,680 and will start arriving at Toyota dealerships in March.
Hey Vince, The nameplate says it is a Toyota and it costs almost $32,000.00 but are there any parts on this vehicle at all that are actually from Japan? If not, why do people think that just because it says Toyota that they are getting the real deal? The sad part is that the uneducated consumer gets taken all the time by these 3rd rate knockoffs! Toyota should be horse whipped for using the cheapest parts from lowest bid companies to turn a profit! Quality and Reliability is not one of their top priorities!
To the guy who wrote the first comment: Do you work for Toyota? This blog is not an advertizing blog! (Sorry, Vince, actually it’s you who decides…)
Vince-
are you filtering these at all? The top comment is obviously a propaganda bit from Toyota.

A page right out of GM’s or Ford’s handbook of crap. I like Toyotas, but words like “appliqué” reek of chintzy, American-style automotive bullshit. Any anniversary car will always be a tarted-up car waiting for some poor sucker to waste his or her money.
But if that makes them happy…
Do you really think that this is “special”? I think it is absolutely rediculous. Why would you take an absolutely boring family sedan, throw in a bunch of gimmicky stuff then charge $32,000? I would really like to find out who would buy this so I could sell them some waterfront property in Louisianna. If Toyota really wanted to make it special then do so… shame on Toyota.
Very nice for my grandfather, he is retiring and wants a new car, he is 78.
This particular generation of Camry is so pathetic. And the fact that this will be the car that will tout Toyota’s 50th Anniversary is sad. Did they just slap this together in the last few days? They should have re-introduced the Supra or something substantial. Not a chintzy vanillamobile.
“A page right out of GM’s or Ford’s handbook of crap. I like Toyotas, but words like “appliqué” reek of chintzy, American-style automotive bullshit. “
C’mon, Toyota is all grown up now. Nobody at GM or Ford put a gun to Toyota’s head and made them write or print anything. This isn’t “chintzy, American-style automotive bullshit”, this is sraight from Japan, chintzy JAPANESE-style automotive bullshit, right out of their very own handbook of crap.
I am the guy who posted the first post. i don’t work for toyota. i was curious what the 50th anniversary edition has so i googled it and pasted what i found.
i thought i share it with everyone here. i guess i am wrong. you all want to see the pics but not the details. sad
It’s not like Toyota has not done this before. Every once in a while they come out with “special edition” Camrys and the buying public gobbles them up. This one is no more expensive than a V6 XLE with the same features or a Hybrid with nav, leather, moonroof, etc. Toyota USA is being run by americans so it should come as no surprise that they are marketing this car as GM or Ford would. “Applique” is just a fancy word for stick on. : )

Yes, crap is universal, but it’s not about someone making Toyota do anything. It’s about them using typical American advertising tactics. That’s fine, but I’m just calling them on it.
Blame us americans for wanting these fake stick-ons. it is a multi-million dollar after-marktet industry for these stuff. so why should toyota or any other car makers not want to get a piece of this pie. sure the aftermarket ones look like $hit but sometime the auto makers do make nice stick-ons.
“Yes, crap is universal, but it’s not about someone making Toyota do anything. It’s about them using typical American advertising tactics. That’s fine, but I’m just calling them on it.”
Still, nobody forced Toyota to adopt similar tactics, though such marketing existed before there was an America or American advertising industry.
“Blame us americans for wanting these fake stick-ons. “
This has nothing to do with nationality. Every country on the globe has entire industries dedicated to fake aftermarket stuff. The Japanese certainly do.
I blame suburbia for this particular hideous thing.
Who cares, don’t buy it if you don’t like it, now that is American.
just read an article today in the washington post’s business section saying that the boomers are into this ennvironmental path so they scoop up hybrids like crazy.
so 3000 camry hybrid 50th anniversary edition is not enough.
